Try to channel the spirit of Josef Beuys.

He explained things to hares, so that might help...


Failing that, call in Antman.

Equal rights for ants!!!!!

Ok then, this constitutes home invasion and burglary. Each ant is going to be face many, many years in prison.

Who was on Earth first?

The ants or the humans?

Their long lost ancestors were probably evicted from their nice patch of wilderness many eons ago...............

Now they're back, with a vengeance!!!

Holy ****! Has Germany started another world war?

I hated the ants in Mississippi. You couldn't leave anything out. I had to keep everything in the fridge.

My size 10 shoes and a can of RAID beat 2mm ants.

sounds like they're coming in from the shop below, usually I just let them wander around until they leave - they dont typically come inside unless their nest is getting flooded and they stay near home even when looking for dry land. If they find something to eat inside and establish a trail I'll put some hamburger outside near their entry point and they leave the house for their new prize. That worked really well the one time we had a big problem with ants back in S Cal. I walked into the kitchen one morning and thought the walls were moving. The ants had several trails all over the kitchen, it was hard to walk around without crunching ants. Plopped some burger down outside and they were gone within an hour. Far easier than killing and then cleaning up the bodies.

Ahem, I don't give a sh!t if I kill some of the bastards while I move within MY kitchen.

BTW, so far haven't died any it seems. They're not touching the poison although they're supposed to do so, and I haven't found the nest. Though I've found a trail on the outside wall of my kitchen so I'll follow that one and kill them all.

Is there necessarily a base in my kitchen or is it possible they come all from the outside?

As of yet their moving patterns seem chaotic to me. I shall observe for a while.

I call to system theorists, cognitive scientists, behavioural biologists!

I think we're going to be eating out a lot in Zaragoza

Yes and you'll pay.

Etchy, what do you think are you eating in a kebab? How dare you to hate your own food
